Small business factoring enables companies to finance their invoices and improve their cash flow. It provides funds to pay employees, suppliers, and other company expenses. More importantly, it provides a stable financial base that supports future growth.
This solution is different from conventional factoring. It’s designed for startups, self-employed individuals, and small companies that invoice less than $30,000 monthly.

Small businesses are different
When Commercial Capital LLC started over 20 years ago, we specialized in small business factoring. We understand the small business market and know it is very different from other markets.
Small companies and self-employed individuals may have unpredictable revenues and cannot commit to minimums. They also don’t have the resources of larger companies and should not be expected to. We have adapted our processes to ensure that you – the small business owner – get the financing you need.
How does factoring work?
Invoices are financed in two installments. The first installment is called the advance. It is deposited to your account as soon as the work is completed and you submit an invoice for processing.
The first installment covers about 80% of the gross value of the invoice. It provides most of the working capital benefits of using factoring. The second installment covers the remaining 20%, less the factoring fee. It is deposited into your bank account once your client pays their invoice. This installment settles the transaction.

Evaluating factoring companies
Partnering with the right factoring company can be important to the success of your small business. Consider asking these questions to potential partners as you go through your due diligence process.
1. How long have you been in business?
You are usually better off with a factoring company that has been around for a few years. Ideally, they should have been around long enough to go through a recession or two. Longevity shows they have seasoned talent that knows how to manage a portfolio during difficult times.
2. What is the size of your largest/smallest client?
Most factoring companies advertise a wide range of supported volumes. Ask about the size of their smallest and largest clients. This information helps you understand the position your company will have in its portfolio.
3. What percentage of your portfolio is companies under $30,000?
You want to know what percentage of their portfolio represents small companies. You will likely be better serviced by a company whose portfolio has a large percentage of small businesses.
4. Do you offer short-term contracts?
Your company should use factoring to solve a specific problem. Factoring use should stop once the situation is stable, and the problem is solved. Consequently, you are better off with a company that offers short-term contracts.
